'Vikings' Fans Angry About Possibility of Lagertha Exiting the Series Ahead Season 6
Fans of the historical drama series "Vikings" are still waiting for further announcement from the History Channel about the release date of season 6. There is brewing uproar among longtime supporters of the series with the potential death of the shield-maiden Lagertha (Katheryn Winnick).
History recently released a teaser trailer for season 5's episode 11, and it looks like Ivar (Alex Hogh Andersen) is gaining the upper hand against Lagertha. In the video, Ivar is seen sitting on a throne and uttering the words, "People of Kattegat, we have a great sacrifice."
The trailer has since then sparked mixed reactions from fans. Most supporters are now speculating that Lagertha might not make it to season 6. According to reports, a number of fans threatened to boycott the series if the producers decided to kill off Winnick's character. Lagertha is not the only character rumored to exit the show. Ragnar Lothbrok's (Travis Fimmel) best friend Floki (Gustaf Caspar Orm Skarsgard) is also speculated to offer himself to the Gods as a sacrifice.
